The annual award is given to players who have exceptional individual performances at each fielding position in both the American League and National League.
Managers and coaches from each league cast their votes to decide the winners, incorporating metrics from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Defensive Index, which accounts for 25% of the total vote. Notably, managers and coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players. Utility player awards are exclusively decided by the sabermetric and other statistics.
